the openai news isn't funny

boards of directors only do this when they're very stressed or anxious

RT Anil Dash @anildash@me.dm

How is the OpenAI board gonna fire Sam Altman just because he gave answers that sounded plausible but weren't actually accurate?

Anyway: OpenAI Board Fires Sam Altman For Reasons Unclear

"Mr. Altman’s departure follows a deliberative review process by the board, which concluded that he was not consistently candid in his communications with the board, hindering its ability to exercise its responsibilities," the post states.

"The board no longer has confidence in his ability to continue leading OpenAI."

Very interestingly, CTO Mira Murati will take over as interim CTO.
